POORHOUSE RECORDS 1999<br />
Donald McHale has been described in Lowell<br />
‘Zines, poems, paintings <strong>and</strong> song as “an<br />
eloquent sensitive Kerouac scholar/poet” <strong>and</strong><br />
as “a thuggish bellicose beer-monster.<br />
“The former guitar-bully from the infamous<br />
Lowell mainstay DAM shed his noise-rock outfit<br />
for a roots rock suit on the 1994 poorhouse<br />
Sessions#1 compilation CD, playing bass, guitar<br />
<strong>and</strong> various percussion as well as writing <strong>and</strong><br />
performing the undeniably bouncy st<strong>and</strong>out<br />
“Mishawum.” When DAM subsequently imploded<br />
in the studio, McHale took the remaining studio<br />
time, fledgling bass player Jim Pittman <strong>and</strong> a<br />
couple of Shods to flesh out his <strong>new</strong> songs, pop<br />
songs. These songs <strong>and</strong> other lo-fi two track <strong>and</strong><br />
four track demos have made up the myriad<br />
releases thus far from Textile Lunch. Usually<br />
home made <strong>and</strong> only sold at gigs, they typically<br />
mixed off beat guitar pop <strong>and</strong> unapproachable<br />
“free form jazz explorations.”<br />
In the last two years Textile Lunch has shared bills with the<br />
Shods, Hank Crane, The Chris Ware B<strong>and</strong>, Permafrost,<br />
The Red Telephone, Huck, The Deliriants,<br />
Quintaine America, 8-Ball Shifter, The Sterlings,<br />

In May 1997 Textile Lunch<br />
released “Shibboleth” a<br />
thirty minute <strong>music</strong>ally<br />
varied, yet straightforward<br />
demo. Textile Lunch plans to<br />
release a full length CD<br />
entitled “Lole” on Poorhouse<br />
Records this spring. The first<br />
glimpses of “Lole” come with<br />
the demo versions of “Goog<br />
As God” <strong>and</strong> “The Pigs<br />
Have Gone Crazy”<br />
produced by Textile drummer<br />
Bob Nash at Wonka Sound,<br />
Lowell, MA.<br />
